Hello... I am sorry for making thread, again.

As the title stated, by the way, I know how the native works. My main problem emerges when finding the entities( specifically players ) index. So, I tried.

PHP Code:

public Random( id )
{
    new Float:CurOrigin[ 3 ], EnemyEnt = -1
    
    pev( id, pev_origin, CurOrigin )
    
    EnemyEnt = find_ent_in_sphere( EnemyEnt, CurOrigin, 300.0 )
    
    while( EnemyEnt != 0 )
    {
        // do stuff...
    }
} 


AFAIK, this will only retrieve a single entity( player ) index, right? Do I need to use 'for' loop instead of 'while' to catch the indexes using get_maxplayers( )? If so, then how?
My main goal is to retrieve all entities( players ) index inside the radius...

Thank you for your time...

PHP Code:

new Float:fOrigin[3], iTeam = get_user_team(id), iEnt
entity_get_vector(id, EV_VEC_origin, fOrigin)

while((iEnt = find_ent_in_sphere(iEnt, fOrigin, 300.0)) != 0)
{
    if(id == iEnt)
        continue
    
    if(is_user_connected(iEnt))
    {
        if(iTeam != get_user_team(iEnt))
        {
            // iEnt is an enemy...
        }
    }
}

i guess a small optimization could be done by removing the classname check and use 1<=iEnt<=maxplayers instead

Or y can get enemies players alive and check the distance for each player in a loop

@jimaway - or simply use is_user_connected(). Fixed.
@Natseh - it's the same I guess, but I prefer it this way.

new Players[32];
find_sphere_class(id, "player", 300.0, Players, 32);

Check if user is alive instead of connected, probably it might found an player ent which is not alive

Pardon me, may I ask?
I actually have a question upon your codes.
Firstly, isn't the 'iEnt' should be valued to '-1- ? I remembered on the Docs there was stated it should start by '-1' in order to prevent it from missing the first entity that the native should catch.

Secondly, I am sorry again, maybe I misunderstood your codes but nevermind, isn't your codes will only retrieve a single player's index? In the 'while' loop, shouldn't the value of 'iEnt' increase ascending for each loop because '!=0' means that when the value of 'iEnt' reached '0' then it will stop the loop and the aftermath will only catch a single player index?

Anyone may enlighten the case.....

I haven't seen that native for quite a time. Is there any difference between this native and the current native that I am using?

Don't you notice the != 0 in the loop or it's necessary for us to remind you?

My apology, but I did wrote about that on my second question...
